Vaccines cause autism: Supporting evidence
October 6 - Rates of autism have skyrocketed 1000% since 1990, yet defenders of vaccines and the pharmaceutical industry keep scratching their heads in confusion: What could be causing this? Lots of clues point to vaccines...

Autism rates double in children as vaccines poison an entire generation
According to a U.S. government survey just published, rates of autism in children have doubled since 2003. Today, an estimated 1 in 91 children are being diagnosed with autism ...

According to what I have heard about this survey it’s based on parents answers to questions not doctor’s diagnoses.

It’s not vaccines. Anything mental gets diagnosed as Autism these days, because it turns on the money.

[RegulatorCountry]

It's being diagnosed more because there's an incentive.

Call it the "behavioral-medical complex."

Also, look at disparate impact, by gender. That tells the tale.

Autism is today’s hot child buzzword. Any problems with a child from whining to lying to fighting are all tagged as autism. This was liberals can feel good about themselves and ruin the life of a child in the process, and they still get credit for caring.

Ding, Ding, Ding.

We have a winner.

Schools get paid more for kids with a diagnosis.

Having a non verbal 22 year old autistic nephew, a 18 year old autistic granddaughter and a 30 year old deaf/autistic son I disagree with you. Autism is on the rise , no doubt about it.

Television and computers.

They really have increased dramatically since 1990, while the rates of vaccination have been the same.

Diet.

Lysine, Vitamin D, DHA...

All the things you get from meat and eggs and fish but don;t get from yogurt and smoothies...

....they've widen the scope of symptoms

U.S. Court Finds No Link Between Vaccines, Autism

I know that an article by the ComPost doesn't carry any weight in FR -- and normally it wouldn't carry any weight with me. But this seems a pretty straight-forward account of how the Vaccine Court, set up in 1986 under Reagan, operates and how it ruled in 3 recent cases that there is no "preponderance of evidence" linking vaccines and autism.

Before you sniff with disapproval in advance, I urge you to read the entire piece (it's not long) and to websearch the names and events it mentions if you want more detail.

I have a 10 month old boy who is going through the normal vaccination schedule and I am very interested in this issue and have read a lot about it. Our kid does not have autism (that we can tell) and I have no expectation that he will but because of his age the thought is scary and I pay close attention to this. I've read both sides. My gut feeling is that the Vaccine Court is right and there is not only a lack of any provable scientific link (which is a high standard) but no preponderance of evidence pointing to a link (which is a lower standard).

Again, if you really care about this issue, not matter what your opinion is already (and no matter what your opinion is of the Compost), I strongly suggest that you read this article.

In the research I have done it appears that autism is linked to genetic breaks associated with the body’s methylation cycle. Methylation is the process of getting rid of metals, virus’, and bacteria. If it is broken, these build up in the system and cause havoc. The havoc can be identified as autism or other illnesses. See the work of Dr. Amy Yasko. We live in an increasingly polluted world. It is no surprise that the PCBs in our water along with other unnatural things we ingest are contributing to these genetic breaks.

Several people I know have autistic kids. Schools don’t want the kids or know how to handle them.

ADHD is much easier to diagnose and would be the choice of schools motivated by dollars.

Generally speaking, if we look hard enough for something, we tend to find it.

Ever consider buying a red pick up truck and then see an increased number of red pick up trucks?

This may be a combination of refined screens to diagnose autism, increased self-reporting, and being more observant.

I for one don’t dismiss this thought so quickly. It is no secret that some vaccines can give a person the disease or sickness it is trying to prevent. I do not want to give my 14 year old son the Swine Flu vaccine. Nor will I take it.

Autism is the new buzz word for kids that don’t get enough discipline from their parents. The parents can’t control these kids so they have to blame it on something. Used to be “Attention Deficit Disorder” now it’s “Autism”. True autism is very rare. These kids are suffering from Parental Child-Rearing Disorder.

I will try to find the info. I read somewhere, it might have been something from the CDC, that the CDC and AMA have postivly linked autism to MMR vaccine if the child has leaky gut syndrome. My son had that because he was whey protein intollerant and we didn’t know for a while. Thank God we didn’t vaccinate. I can’t describe how I decided, but it just came over me when he was born. I think God was trying to tell me something. Now that he is better, we can start thinking about a vaccine schedule that does not have multiple doses at one time.

More like an extraordinary broadening of the definition of autism.

I do not want to give my 14 year old son the Swine Flu vaccine. Nor will I take it.

I don't want to argue with your choice or try to persuade you to do something you don't want to do but I just want to point out that your words are also saying this:

I do not want my 14 year old son's body to be trained to defend itself against swine flu. Nor will I allow that training in my body either.

[samtheman]

More like an extraordinary broadening of the definition of autism.

That's what I believe happened.
